I have a fluval edge and was wondering if I could put any saltwater fish or invertebrate in it. I have seen many nano tanks before, but don't know how they work. I am new to saltwater, and need a lot of advice and help!

20 gallon: 2 pristella tetras, 2 flame tetras, 1 painted platy and fry, 6 ghost shrimp, 2 female bettas (Athena, and Alectrona)
6 gallon (Fluval Edge): breeding tank, 1 cherry barb
5 gallon (Fluval Chi): 1 double-tail male betta (Sephora)
2 gallon: 1 red male vieltale betta (Balboa)
2 gallon (Fluval Spec): 1 male halfmoon betta(Shawano)
30 gallon: 2 fantail goldfish, 1 pleco
Future Tank (far away future...): 75 or 100 gallon planted tank with 6-8 discus (undecided types of them), a school of red phantom tetras, some loaches, a pair of rams, and a school of rummy nose tetras

I highly doubt this would work.. The tank will get covered in algae unless you get an RO unit, which is too expensive to be worth using for a fluvel edge IMO.
also im not sure how quickly water eveporates in those tanks but its such a small volume that parameters could change very quickly, especially in a room that gets some sun during the day.
Long story short, i dont think its a good idea if youre new to SW, even though it sounds cool.
